FBI says flight attendant fabricated story that led to emergency landing

A Delta Airlines flight had to make an emergency landing last week at a North Dakota Airport. On Monday, court documents revealed that Justin Cox-Sever had been charged with interfering with the operation of an aircraft and communicating false information. The airport in Dickinson was shut down temporarily last Wednesday when the aircraft, coming from Minneapolis, landed.
